Mobile hydraulic systems pose
a unique set of design challenges. The hydraulic tanks tend
to be small, and often times the packaging problems are
significant. My experience designing hydraulic systems for
mobile equipment has ranged from systems with a few simple
functions to complex designs with proportional control and
feedback. Depending on your production volume I can
help you design systems using discreet hydraulic valves or custom
hydraulic manifolds to suit your specific need.

Hydraulic system reliability
is a result of many factors. These factors include system
dynamics, fitting selection, component selection, operating
temperature and fluid selection. If you have a hydraulic
system that is chronically leaking or suffering other reliability
issues, my review of your system may help resolve these problems.

Hydraulic components often
represent a significant part of the equipment cost when building a
piece of mobile equipment. Hydraulic salesmen often design
hydraulic systems using whatever component manufacturers they
represent instead of the most cost effective or appropriate part
for the project. I can review your hydraulic system and make
suggestions to reduce your system cost or improve the
performance.

Hydraulic manifold was designed to operate seven mechanisms
while fitting in a narrow 10" envelope.

Attention to serviceability was critical
in the design of this cargo loader hydraulic
system.

The hydraulic system on this spinach harvester uses a single
pressure compensated pump to operate all of the functions.
The ground drive is under direct hydraulic control to maximize
system reliability.
